Interactive with all he's been doing, and very knowledgeable. Had a great rapport with our staff and our players. Really like what he does. He'll be able to add to...we'll keep a lot of the same things we've been doing on defense, and add a few things that they bring. It will be a good mix in allowing us to do some things and add to our package."
